  3. Uganda Development Agenda Vision 2040 • “Transformed Ugandan Society from a Peasant to a Modern and Prosperous Country within 30 years” • Target: Upper Middle Income Country with a per capita income of USD 9,500 by 2040 National Development Plans • Vision 2040 operationalised through design and implementation of six (6) Five Year National Development Plans, • The Second National Development Plan 2015/16-2019/20 (NDPII) integrated the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and is Uganda’s current planning framework. • 69% of the SDG were integrated in the NDPII Uganda Bureau of Statistics ¤ Plot 9 Colville Street, Kampala Uganda ¤ Website: www.ubos.org Tel: +256(0)-41-4706000 ¤ E-mail: ubos@ubos.org

  4. Integration of Human Settlement Indicators in the Uganda’s Development Framework SDG NDP 2 Targets / Interventions Increase access to housing for all income groups for rental and owner occupation to 7.8 million units by 2019/20. Reduce slums and informal settlements and increase access to affordable housing finance. Operationalize the Physical Planning Act, 2010 to support orderly and sustainable development. Goal 11: Make cities and human settlements inclusive, safe, resilient, and sustainable Uganda Bureau of Statistics ¤ Plot 9 Colville Street, Kampala Uganda ¤ Website: www.ubos.org Tel: +256(0)-41-4706000 ¤ E-mail: ubos@ubos.org

  5. Integration of Human Settlement Indicators in the Uganda’s Development Framework • The Ministry of Lands, Housing and Urban Development is mandated to ensure rational and sustainable use, effective management of land and orderly development of urban and rural areas as well as safe, planned and adequate housing for socio-economic development. • In this regard, the MLHUD is ensuring that policies which are cognizant of the SDGs are being designed and implemented. • National Housing Policy (Passed in 2016) • The Urban Development Policy (Draft) • The Urban Solid Waste Management Policy (Draft) Uganda Bureau of Statistics ¤ Plot 9 Colville Street, Kampala Uganda ¤ Website: www.ubos.org Tel: +256(0)-41-4706000 ¤ E-mail: ubos@ubos.org

  6. National Reporting for SDG Monitoring • Uganda recognizes the power of evidence-based decision making across all the levels of the public and private sector. • To this effect, the NDP II is fully cognizant of Uganda’s development obligations as enshrined in the Constitution, the East African Community Integration Protocols, the Africa Agenda 2063, Vision 2040 and the Agenda 2030 for Sustainable Development. • In this context, the Sustainable Development Agenda has been integrated into the NDPII and therefore, monitoring and reporting mechanisms of SDGs implementation will follow the existing arrangements under the NDP II.

  7. National Reporting for SDG Monitoring… • As part of reporting, the country produces annual and periodic reports. The annual reports include: Annual National Development Report (NDR), the Government Annual Report (GAPR), SDG Progress Report, Annual Sector Performance Reports and MDA statistical abstracts. • Others are independent assessments of government programmes; World and African Statistical Year Books; World Economic Outlook by IMF; Human Development Reports by UNDP; African Union and East African Community (EAC) Reports; District Development Plans and Reports; and other relevant information. The periodic reports are: NDP Mid-term Review Reports, End of Plan evaluation Reports, selected Policy/Programmes Evaluation Reports.

  8. Data sources and availability • Currently Uganda is implementing its second National Strategy for Statistical Development (NSDS2) that is aligned to NDP II and provides an integrated programme for censuses and surveys. The NSDS2 articulates mechanisms for strengthening administrative data and civil registration systems. • It is envisaged that the information need for monitoring Agenda 2030 will be delivered through implementation of NSDS2 that is recognizes the emergence of non-conventional data sources that include Big-data and geospatial technologies and information from private actors.

  9. Data sources and availability… • Uganda Bureau of Statistics (UBOS) in collaboration with the Ministry of Finance, Planning and Economic Development (MoFPED), Office of the Prime Minister (OPM), and National Planning Authority (NPA) developed a National Standard Indicator (NSI) framework. • The NSI framework is a four level hierarchical indicator framework; the national, sector, service and routine government function level indicators for monitoring government operations. The SDG Indicator framework has been integrated in the NSI that will guide prioritisation of data/statistics production.

  10. Selection of the Base year SDG Monitoring • The fiscal year 2014/15 is considered the most appropriate baseline year for measuring progress of implementation of Agenda 2030 in Uganda because it is the baseline for NDP II. • In addition, wealth of data/information was made available during the course of the fiscal year 2014/15. Such information is available from the 2014 National Population and Housing Census, 2014 Rebased GDP series and routine administrative data from Central Government Ministries, Departments and Agencies. • For indicators where no data series are available for 2014/15, data from the most recent surveys will provide the baselines as well as data from upcoming surveys.

  11. Challenges in monitoring and reporting • The capacity of the National Statistical System to deliver on responsive data needs is mainly constrained by: • Limited sharing of statistical standards, concepts and definitions. • Limited user appreciation of statistics and its role in economic and social development, • Inadequate appropriation of resources for statistical activities, • Lack of baseline data on various SDG indicators and limited disaggregation on available data. • Absence of appropriate methodologies and technologies for measuring some indicators, • Weak survey coordination among data producers.
